Target Audience and Needs
Obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, fellows, residents, and medical students need to receive regular updates on advances in obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine. The series will use discussions of complex pregnancies to review the function of collaborative multidisciplinary teams in the delivery of safe, evidence-based patient care to both mother and fetus. The series aims to advance the knowledge of learners, aid the formulation of detailed care plans, and improve patient outcomes.
Educational Methods
Educational methods will include lectures and case presentations.
